Buffalo is closer to Lake Erie which freezes in midwinter, which stops the lake effect. From what I know, Lake Ontario rarely freezes completely (because it is deeper), and the lake effect continues all winter long. Rocheste,r Syracuse and Oswego are just south of Lake Ontario.

In related trivia, the snowiest city in the world is Aomori City, Japan.

The AVERAGE is 26 feet of snowfall every year. That's the average. It can get a lot more than that.

According to Wiki it gets 263 inches a year, which is less than Valdez, AK. Of course, Valdez can’t be called a city but some people live there.

What’s the “size” qualification to get on that list? Valdez Alaska blows all those places out of the water. Seems like they just threw a lot of eastern cities on that list so it wouldn’t be unbalanced.
